Extraordinary Rendition | Underground Gallery
Extraordinary Rendition, a collaboration between artists Tim Guthrie and Doug Hayko, is a multi-space installation that will divide the Bemis Underground space into three distinct rooms. The installation includes a performance (Interrogation Room with performers throughout the exhibit), a wall of surveillance monitors showing various videos along with a large video projection (Surveillance Room) juxtaposed with a group of traditional portraits rendered simply in graphite on paper (Gallery Room).
While visitors contemplate the work in the Gallery Room, surveillance cameras attached to the frames above the drawings simultaneously record their re/actions. These videos are displayed live on monitors in the Surveillance Room and digitally downloaded onto an online database for future examination and analysis. During the entire opening reception, there will be a performance in the Interrogation Room that takes place while other performers circulate in areas throughout the entire exhibition space.
